Geodesic Domes

Geodesic domes are demonstrated and explained with cut-out models by Borin Van Loon. The beautiful and interesting models in this book offer a hands-on introduction to the study of geodesic dimes. It was American architect Buckminster Fuller who pioneered this type of building and helped to establish a sound basis for designing them. With the aid of models, this book explains the underlying theory and shows how a sphere can be divided and subdivided symmetrically to create dramatic buildings which are light and strong and have no need of internal support.
